SpaceX beats earnings estimates but shares drop on massive $116bn share sale looming

SpaceX reported better-than-expected Q2 revenue of $7.8 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $3.5 billion, with a smaller net loss than forecasted. However, shares fell 7.5% after hours due to concerns over $18.4 billion in capital spending, mainly on its AI unit xAI, which outpaces returns. Investors are also wary of a large share overhang, as 911.5 million shares worth about $116 billion will become available for sale soon, potentially flooding the market and pressuring the stock price. This supply increase comes amid Musk's ambitious revenue targets, but the market remains cautious about the timing and impact of these share releases.
